I can't think of another actor like him. He was a cheesy actor who managed to entertain me so much. He had some legit great action movies and a lot of mediocre ones.
shareIt's going to be really hard for me when Ford, Willis, Stallone, and Arnold are gone I agree.
shareAbsolutely one of a kind! It's not just Hollywood who's never seen another like him, it's the whole world!
I had a mad crush on him back in the day, despised him when he was revealed to have been harassing staffers and fucking his maid, kinda like him in some ways there days. For good or ill, he's definitely someone who makes up his own mind about things, and doesn't follow trends or party platforms. I respect that, at least.
20 years after he dies I really believe we're going to look at him like how we look at Bruce Lee.
shareI can think of one pretty similar, Sylvester Stallone.
shareYes, another old school action superstar. There aren't guys like them anymore in cinema. Maybe times changed. People probably aren't interested in super muscular guys just blowing the fuck out of things all the time. The only ''modern'' actor i can think of who is kinda like Arnold and Sly is The Rock. Probably a bad example, but still: questionable acting abilities, but he has charisma and screen presence like those two, although not that charismatic.
shareI get what your saying but yes bad example not a Rock fan.
But Arnie, sly, vanne damme, you can't beat them.
Love all their 80's early 90's cheese fests...no one will ever match them.
Although there are a lot of superstars that we can name, few hit the global, universal appeal and worldwide phenomenon that Arnold did during his peak.
Elvis, Michael Jordan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tiger Woods [maybe].
